Continued operation of the University of California San Diego’s University Art Gallery has been suspended by the school’s arts and humanities division, with no programming scheduled after July 1st. The hold is due to the associated committee’s failure to reach a “consensus on how the gallery would be run.” While the space’s assistant director believes closure is imminent, others are hopeful that a solution that would leave the gallery operational can be reached.
